History
The Jewish Quarterly was founded in 1953 by Jacob Sonntag, a journalist born in 1905 in Bukovina who had come to Britain as a refugee in November 1938; he edited it from 1953 until his death on 27 June 1984. A history published by the journal for its seventieth anniversary describes it as founded in Britain by Jewish refugees from Central and Eastern Europe, and quotes the historian W. D. Rubinstein as writing that Sonntag "edited the Quarterly almost single-handedly, always on a shoestring budget".[1] The same article names later editors including Elena Lappin (1994–97), Matthew Reisz (1997–2007) and Rachel Lasserson (2007–13), with Natasha Lehrer and Devorah Baum as guest editors of the fiftieth and sixtieth anniversary issues.[1]
The journal is the other name on the Charity Commission register of Jewish Literary Trust Limited (charity 268589; company 01189861), incorporated on 7 November 1974.[3]
Relaunch under licence, 2021
In November 2020 The Jewish Chronicle reported that the Melbourne-based publisher Morry Schwartz had taken an 18-year licence from the journal's trustees to publish it, rather than buying it outright. Schwartz was quoted: "I'm not the owner, I'm the licensee. I have editorial independence, but we [he and the trustees] agree on the general direction of its contents." The report named Jonathan Pearlman, editor of Schwartz's Australian Foreign Affairs, as editor, and Ian Black, Natasha Lehrer and Jo Glanville as consulting editors. It said Schwartz had learned of the journal's difficulties from Andrew Renton, who had been on its board.[4] The journal's website says it relaunched in 2021 and is distributed worldwide, and that Pearlman is also world editor of The Saturday Paper.[2]
